We are family of 18 from Pennsylvania and we LOVED Utopia! The house was exactly as advertised. It was clean, had everything we needed and the furniture was all very comfortable. The theatre was a huge hit! The house was perfectly laid out with lots of space for everyone to spread out. Even with 18 people we never felt cramped! The location is also perfect- far enough up the beach away from the crowds without being too far from town. We loved being close enough to walk back and forth to the house from the beach whenever we needed to. The pool and hot tub were a great way to end the day. We also enjoyed seeing the horses in the yard everyday! We would definitely stay here again!

This property had plenty of room for the17 of us who where able to meet at this lovely location. Enjoyed the beach the pool having meals together. The hot tub movie theater views from the decks. The horses who delighted us with their presence daily. Beach driving was bumpier and more crowded than I remembered it. But great adventure got to know children born in far away states and hopefully give them happy memories of us.

We had a wonderful week. We loved the house. And everyone had a wonderful time at the beach. The pool and hot tub also got a lot of use. The theater room was a huge hit!!! We loved watching the horses. Any questions we had were quickly answered. It was a great week.

Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful beach house this week. We had an absolutely, wonderful time. We took care of your house just as we would have if it was ours. Inside the house, we especially loved the shuffleboard game. That’s a great family game! We are even going to buy one for our lake house. The beach and horses were enjoyed by all. We hope to visit your beautiful beach house again some day!

Great house with plenty of space and amenities! The movie room was awesome for the rainy days.

Me and my family just got back from renting this beautiful 3 story beach home for a week. The house itself is kept very clean and was not dated at all. The owners provide more than enough amenities that there is no need to bring anything than clothes and your beach towel. The beds were very comfortable and there is a TV in every bedroom. The theater room was a big hit for the kids and adults as well. The pool was clean and they provide plenty of chairs for everyone. They even have chairs to bring to the beach! We had daily sightings of the wild horses which was amazing. The ocean views and the sunsets were unbelievable! Great place to stay!!

house needs major attention and major upkeep. both fridges not working properly, electrical outlets not working on left hand side of upstairs kitchen, cracked floor tiles, upstairs stove busted, carpet in downstairs room ripped, both kitchen faucets rusted and leaking, pool heater not working, pool deck a trip hazzard, pool furniture old and beat up, damaged, beach chairs and toys old, damaged, most cannot be used, deck furniture damaged and left on upper deck for all to see, grilling area had horse poopie so the smell and bugs will annoy you, gate to pool area broken, pool wasnt serviced as stated on paperwork. mold and mildew on most balcony doors. our expectations werent too high based on the pictures we saw and of course we kept an open mind considering this is a remote area BUT, we were shocked. we had 2 family members leave and wouldnt even stay 1 night, the rest of us all cut our trip shorter than expected. sadly, will not return to this house. movie room was the best part of this house.

Proximity to the beautiful beach was priceless! Movie room was a huge hit with the Grandmas and kids.

The property was just as described. Its in a great area with good beach access. The pool was great for later in the day. The house was clean and we felt very comfortable there. I can tell the owners try to keep up with the maintenance and keep a nice house.

The owners are fabulous in responding. It’s a short walk to the beach and room that everyone can have space. The horses visited everyday which the kids loved watching. The theater room was a hit also. We made many memories. You do need 4 wheel. Our only situation was it rained mid week extremely hard and roads to house were flooded and hard to get to without knowing where the sink holes were. Then rained more on day before we left which added more water to the already flooded roads. Everyone thought it was fun though driving on the bumpy beach.

Amazing views, easy access to beach and FUN. Owners were very responsive to texts. Movie theater room is awesome touch!

We enjoyed the house. It was clean and smelled good. We were close to the beach and the horses . The only down side was the pool started to turn green but after a call it was quickly resolved. We would rent again.

We had some inclement weather so getting to the house was a challenge, but once we got there it was nice. Clean, check in procedure was well thought out and detailed by the owners. Lots of convenience and the home theater came in handy for the rainy days. Lots of morning and afternoon sun at the pool and shade too! Didn’t use the outside bbq but it was conveniently located. Lots of toys and floats at the pool to help enjoy our stay. Only down side was the remote nature of the house. That’s just my inexperience to the OBX locations, nothing to do with the house.

We had a great week! Driving on the beach was a new experience for us. Accommodations fit our needs well. Plenty of room. Theater room was definitely a huge hit!!! Horses were in the yard almost daily. Good time had by all!

Great house, great location, little dated but great pool! Awesome movie room! Great location to ocean! Owners are super communicative and have thought of everything. Would love to return!

A great time had by all. The Movie theater room was a big hit as was the pool. The horses came up behind the pool to hang out so we could see them. Tides were HIGH this weekend, so we left a bit early as the tide stayed up by the dunes due to the winds and hurricanes out in the ocean. Plenty of room to spread out and relax! Property managers were very responsive with every question we had! Thank you!

Nice, house needs some updates. Shuffle board could not use, damaged. Location was great! We saw the horses everyday.

We absolutely loved Utopia and the 4x4 beach. The first thing I noticed about the home is that it was so clean. Lydia does an awesome job. It has all the conveniences of home, but we did get a message after being on the road for 9 hours that we needed to bring our own blankets due to COVID. We swung by Target and grabbed some. The kitchen had everything we needed except a juicer to juice lemons and limes and there was no waffle maker although the description said it did. Our 13-year-old was heartbroken. Lol. The views from the balconies and all the windows was breathtaking. We loved the pool, hot tub and theater. There was a large group of 13 of us so we split into teams and took turns cooking and cleaning the kitchen each night. It was neat to see all the themes and one teenage decorated every night in the dining room and that was a lot of fun. The only thing I wished for was a dumbwaiter to get all the groceries up to the third floor. We created an assembly line with everyone and that worked well. The house is about 15 minutes up the beach from Corolla, about 20 minutes from the Whalehead Club and just a couple minutes walk from the beach. We can’t wait to go back. The owners provide great communication and answered all our questions. We couldn’t have asked for any better.

Easy walk to the beach, awesome theater room, stairs were a little much for us but the rooms were awesome and perfectly suited for our family. B

Any minor issue that occurred, the owners took care of immediately! The location was fantastic and a great house for a few families!

We visited with a few family friends and all of our children. The house and location were perfect. The theater room, game room, and pool kept the kids busy all week. We had plenty of space for all guests to enjoy time together and enjoy time on our own on the different deck levels. The hosts responded to questions immediately and gave us all the assistance we needed. I would recommend this property to anyone interested in a week stay. Driving on the 4wd beach was a first for all of us and an absolute blast. We also had horses in our front yard a few times during the week...awesome.

This is our second trip to this property with a large group of people from different families. The house is perfect for that kind of vacation, plenty to do plenty of space and lots of room for everyone. We loved the option of being able to go down to the beach or stay close to home and swim in the pool, or do little bit of both. The theater room is a great amenity which we took advantage of fully. If you need to work on your vacation be forewarned that the Internet service is provided through a DSL modem and is very slow and not conducive to doing any kind of video conferencing whatsoever. The only complaint we had was that we felt the pool was not being properly maintained. By the middle of the week the water has become murky and started to smell.

Enjoyed the wild horses and the beach. Movie room with 9 theater seats also a big hit with the entire group.

We enjoyed it very much and would definitely stay there again! The owners are very responsive!

This place was all and more we were looking for. The owners were awesome. We had a small issue while there and contacted the owners after 9:30pm and they responded right away. The house is awesome. We will be back next year

We loved the beach access and location of the property. The beach was never too crowded and everyday was beautiful!

The whole experience was great

The house is well stocked and had all the amenities we needed to have yet another great family vacation on the 4X4 beach in OBX. I was a bit concerned that being this close to the beach access point would have too much traffic but loved that this house is located among the mile markers where the required traffic pattern is against the dune. The theater room and the pool were big hits with the family when we weren't spending time on the beach. Thanks for a wonderful week!

This property was perfect!!! We have 6 adults and 9 kids (3 families) and there was plenty of room to spread out. We spent countless hours on the pool deck and in the pool, in the hot tub, and loved being able to walk to the beach! Rooms were large and clean, kids loved the movie theater, kitchen is a great size and stocked very well for a big group! The owners were always quick to respond to a few questions. Wish we could stay another week :) We saw lots of horses and the kids loved having to drive on the beach to get to the house. Overall, an absolutely awesome house!!!

We loved the OBX. The house was in a perfect location. It had everything we needed although the the layout was a bit weird, the 20 of us all had plenty of room. Mustangs were there everyday and the sunsets were beautiful. Thanks for he memories.

Beautiful home beautiful location. Can’t wait to go back

Love the 4x4 drive beach the owners are super easy to work with we had a few minor issues at first but got everything worked out happy with our stay
